Network quality enhanced
June 1st 2006

PalletFORCE's commitment to continuous improvement has been underlined by a major investment in a stateof- the-art IT system, providing comprehensive real-time 'track and trace' for the Network's Depots and their customers.

The installation, designed by logistics specialist TransaXion, registers every pallet with a unique identification, which is used to trace deliveries throughout the distribution process. A dedicated section of TransaXion's website allows customers to chart the progress of pallets in realtime from dispatch to delivery, the latter confirmed by electronic signature capture.

"Our solution is designed to improve the speed, efficiency and accuracy of information within PalletFORCE's infrastructure," explains Neil Gold of TransaXion.

"The system has been customised to the Network's specifications to give PalletFORCE hands-on control of logistics and traceability data."

One of the system's major benefits is that it records a wide variety of operational data, allowing Depots to manage trunk and driver efficiency.

Carl Worgan, operations director at PalletFORCE, believes the IT system offers significant advantages. "It is particularly useful in enhancing the speed and flexibility of our Night Operation, whilst maintaining Health & Safety standards."
